Psalm 31:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 Blessed[a] be the Lord,
for he has manifested his wondrous kindness to me
when I was under siege.
23 I had cried out in terror,
“I have been cut off from your sight.”
But you heard my plea
when I cried out to you for assistance.
24 Love the Lord, all his saints.[b]
The Lord protects his loyal servants,
but the arrogant he repays beyond measure.
